What we all really want to know is; What’s everyone in Paris wearing, talking about, doing, and and even more to the point – where are they drinking their favourite coffee?!

Vous Parlez Paris is my little ode to the city’s effortlessly chic inhabitants. A little je ne sais quoi, a little Q&A, and obviously much caffeine – most likely at a picturesque cafe somewhere in the 6th.

Think of this as a front-row seat to the runway we call the delectable Rue’s of Paris. Swapping caffeine for style and local intel, whenever I get the chance ✌🏽

So…

Meet Guilia, an Italian fashion girlie who came to Paris via London, working her way through some mighty brands along the way. She knows all the best places to devour delicious cuisines and has an endless list of recommendations for coffee lovers (her ‘saved places’ on google maps is truly inspirational and resembles a piece of art)! Oh and like me she literally walks everywhere (love her for this):

Fave area in Paris

I think it’s the Marais. It’s so easy to walk around there and full of interesting shops and art galleries.

Why Paris

Paris is the place to be right now. So many things are happening, and it’s the capital of fashion!

London or Paris?

London will always a place in my heart, but at this time of my life Paris is the right place to be.

Fave Parisian Pastry

If we talk about pastries it must be the pain au chocolat, especially the one from Philippe Conticini. For patisserie is the flan au vanille. Oh lala

Fave Parisian restaurant

This is a tricky question. I have so many I love to go to, but if I have to chose one Early June: always great dishes, wine and atmosphere. 

If you were an arrondissement – which would you be any why

The 11th: surprising, multi-faceted, cool, young (like me no?)

How has your style changed from living in London to now living in Paris

In London I was the cool girl, now in Paris I am the chic cool girl

Describe Parisian style

The Parisian style is effortless, like every detail is well thought out and chic. You just wear everything with confidence.

Best Parisian fashion find?

Incredibly it’s a small brand called Topologie, which has an amazing variety of straps that you can add to your bags or phone covers. They are just so functional! I recommend.

Most iconic moment for you while living in Paris – something you will never forget

Haha I know…It was me Cycling up Champs-Elysees in the middle of a Summer night, after a party, slightly tipsy and obviously the Metro stations were closed/ on strike – its Paris! The whole thing seemed so unreal but also beautiful!

Sunday hangout

Recently it has become La Perle in the middle of the Marais. Great spot for people watching and just so cozy.

Opinion on the Paris metro

How long does it take to walk there? 

Best coffee shop

Motors coffee. They are in Chatelet, not the best of areas, but they have the absolute best coffee selections – plus they have a delicious vegan banana bread. A must try.

Your perfect day in Paris would be….

A sunny one!

French men, Italian men or English men?

I would have never imagined I would have said this, but English men. They are so funny and smart.

Fave Parisian beauty discovery

Nuxe. Their Huile Prodigieuse works like magic

Best vintage shop

Bobby, always great findings there

Only in Paris…what’s the craziest moment you experienced

I somehow talked myself into a VIP private party at the new Dover Street Market in Paris – it was a part hosted by Pharrell Williams…eek. Well you go with the flow, right?!

Last one…most useful French phrase/ sentence/ word you know

”Vous avez une place?”  I am always booking restaurants or just walking-in.
